IMAGINE1
In 2020, I imagine I will be working with a conservation organisation - looking for ways to enable farmers to produce crops in more sustainable ways.

They rely on additives such as fertilizers and pesticides to ensure continued cropping success, while lowering the productivity of the land more and more. Continuing in this way will only lead to eventual disaster. I hope to be part of the solution, and plan on being in the thick of it by 2020.

Social innovation should not ignore the culture, traditions and REAL needs of the people we are trying to… Continue

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
